I feel really bad for her. She looks so sad and I wind up picking her up or petting her and this doesn't sit well with Hot Rod. This used to happen at feeding time and then I started to put down 2 bowls and now I even make sure to give Hot Rod his first.
I've been told that Hot Rod is just letting her know that he's first but I just feel so bad for Maggie. I found that if I try to play fetch with them it doesn't work. I just throw the toy and then back off. They will tug between the 2 of them but I try to play with them, Hot Rod snaps at Maggie for my attention.
Sigh, I guess I just have to keep an eye out and make sure that he doesn't hurt her. There are just some awful sounds that come out. |
Oh i am so glad to hear im not the only one!! Sorry, i know its alot to deal with,but you share my issue. Ava is 3yrs old and bowie is 3 minths old, he is always harassingher , biting her ears, tails, legs, snapping at her. Poor ava looks at me likez' why did you have to get another one" However, if she thinks bowie is in trouble or hurt, she runs to his aid, she wants to sniff him to make sure hes inone piece. Thats actually cute and when its sleepytime they secretly give kisses. Ihope bowie grows out of the bully stage. Good luck!
